Female-headed households in Bekasi Regency face economic and role distribution challenges that affect their marital quality. This study aimed to analyze the effects of economic stress, gender relations, and coping strategies on their marital quality. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional design with purposive sampling, involving 64 married female household heads with children who are members of PEKKA in Serang Baru District, Bekasi Regency. Data were collected through interviews, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The findings revealed that most respondents had moderate objective economic stress, high subjective economic stress, high gender relations, moderate coping strategies, and low marital quality. Correlation analysis showed that economic stress had a significant negative correlation with gender relations and coping strategies, while gender relations had a significant positive correlation with coping strategies. Regression analysis indicated that the wife's education level, per capita income, and objective economic stress had significant negative effects on marital quality, whereas gender relations had a significant positive effect on marital quality.
